Forecasts

Caman Eileen (8/15), Hashtag Pretender (11/4), Spick And Span (7/1), Boston Jury (15/2), Amanha (9/1), Finnicky Filly (14/1), Getawiggleon (20/1), Banana Three (20/1), Duke Silver (22/1), Thats All (33/1), Relevant Range (33/1), Silas Marner (40/1), Carnat (50/1), Has Me Dreaming (80/1), Storm Steps (150/1), Barney Van Winkle (200/1), True Story (250/1), Handy Manny (250/1)

CAMAN EILEEN made an encouraging hurdles debut when runner-up back from a nine-month absence here and, with improvement on the cards, she is confidently expected to go one better this time. Spick And Span is pretty exposed but she has shown enough in handicaps in recent months to suggest that she can be competitive in this maiden. Newcomer Boston Jury is one to note in the betting, while Hashtag Pretender will be in with a shout if ready to roll following 10 months off.
